CAUTION
WARNING
• Before using product, read and understand instructions.
• Save these instructions for future reference.
• All work must be performed by qualified personnel trained in the proper application,
installation, and maintenance of steam systems in accordance with all applicable codes
and ordinances.
• To prevent serious burns, wear heat resistant gloves when opening and closing steam
valves, or handling hot equipment.
• To prevent serious personal injury from steam pipe blow down, connect a temporary
pipe between the steam pipe opening and a drain, or stand at least 100 ft. (30m) from
the front of the pipe opening.
• To prevent property damage, personal injury, or death, cap off the gate valves if they
are not connected to a drain and when they are not in use for test or pressure relief.
Failure to follow this warning could cause property damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
STEP 1 - Prepare Hardware and Size Tubing
TOOLS NEEDED:
Tubing cutter, adjustable or pipe wrench.
Pipe sealant should be applied to all pipe threads.
•
Do not use PTFE tape.
Note: Follow manufacturers instructions for applying
pipe sealant. Keep sealant off of the first thread.
Tubing Lengths

Cut L- tube to appropriate A & B
dimensions listed on Tubing Length
chart.

• The preformed copper tubing (included in the hardware
kits) may have to be shortened with a tubing cutter.
After cutting, ream the end to restore original tubing
diameter.
2. S-Tube
Cut S- tube to appropriate C & D
dimensions listed on Tubing
Length chart.
9. J-Tube
No cutting of J-tubes is required

Pilot Installation Detail - For Reference Only
Applies to All Pilots
Numbers in parentheses refer to items in Kits A or B, pg. 1.
1. The pilot valve(s) can be installed on either side of the
main valve. The main valve is shipped with the Utubing and the bleed orifice installed for left-hand side
mounting of the pilot valve(s). If right-hand side
mounting of the pilot(s) is desired, the U-tubing and
the bleed orifice must be relocated to the opposite
sides of the main valve.
Note: Right-hand side and left-hand side positioning is
determined when the main valve inlet directly faces
the observer.
2. Make sure the bleed orifice is installed in the 1/8 NPT
tapping on the outlet end of the main valve on the
opposite side from the U-tubing. Remove the 1/8 NPT
pipe plug from the bleed orifice and replace it with a
1/8 NPT x 1/4" (6mm) OD tubing, straight compression
fitting (from the hardware kit #10).
3. Install the 1/4 NPT x 1-1/2" (38mm) nipple and half of
the union connection (from the hardware kit #4 and
#5) on the inlet end of the main valve.
Use the 1/4 NPT x 4" (101mm) nipple (#3) and the
4.
remaining
half of the union connection (from the hardware kit) to mount the first pilot. Mount additional
pilots as required using 1/4" steel pipe nipples.
5. Install the copper tee fitting (from the hardware kit #6)
in the 1/8 NPT signal tapping on the side of the
last pilot with the tee pointing down.
Identification of SPS Series Spring Pressure Pilot Ports
Install the L-fitting (from the hardware kit #7) in the tapping
6.
at the center of the main valve diaphragm cover.
Note: For steps 7 and 8, trim the length of the copper
tubing as required (see "Tubing Length Chart", page
2) to make a neat installation. Be sure to ream the
tube to the full tube diameter after cutting.
7. Install the S- or J-copper tubing (from the hardware
kit #2 or #9) from the tee fitting to the bleed orifice.
8. Install the L- copper tubing (from the hardware kit #1)
from the bottom of the tee fitting to the L-fitting in the
main valve diaphragm cover.
9. The 1/4" feedback tapping must be connected to the
downstream piping for either a spring or air pressure
pilot:
• Use 1/4 black steel pipe for the feedback line (B)
(not supplied with this kit).
• Install a 1/4 NPT shut off valve (D) and union (C)
in this line to allow service of the pilot while
operating the system on the by-pass line.
• The feedback line must pitch away from the pilot
to avoid erratic operation, excessive fouling and
eliminate water pockets.
When the regulator is used with a heat exchanger,
connect the feedback line (B) to the heat exchanger
shell. A tee fitting can be installed in the heat
exchanger for a vacuum breaker connection.
